Fig. 7 is an enlarged parts detail fragmentary side elevation with ent instance this column stop bar is in the pivot rod on which a tioning, setting and clearing the column be made as may-be re top plate ofthe machine mounted on the carriage for traveling move- 12. Each bracket arm is is in the nature of an mprovement upon the construction dis:

i series of column stops,

column stop in its pivotal stop has one end of a appear. at 24. to receive a pivotal accidental displacement each designated as a whole by the reference numeral 21, 1s pivoted. This pivot rod is shown provided with a feather or spline 22 which projects from the rod throughout the length thereof and 1S received in corresponding openings in the bracket arms 19 to lock the pivot rod against turning movement in the openings in the bracket arms. Headed screws 23 are received in tapped openings in the ends of the pivot rod 20 and the heads of these screws bear against outer faces of the bracket arms, thereby preventing a longitudinal movement of the pivot rod in its bearings in the supporting brackets. It will thus be understood that the column stop bar 20 is maintained fixed'against rotative movement but that the column stops are enabled to receive .a relative sliding adjustment along the column stop mounted for pivotal movement t-hereon,each

movement moving in a plane which extends transversely of the bar, as will hereinafter more clearly Each column stop is apert-ured, as bearing on the stop bar 20 and has an enlarged opening 2.3 greater than the thickness -.of the spline to enable the spline to-be received therein and yet afford a limited pizvotal movement of the stop from the lowermost position shown in Fig. 7, tothe uppermost position represented in the same view. Each column wire spring detent 26 secured thereto, asat 27. This detent extends longitudinally of the stop and is received at its free end portion in a slot 28 in the stop so that the end portion 29 of the detent' is adapted to cooperate with the spline to maintain the column stop against from any position to which it may be moved so that the stop may remain indefinitely- 411 such position. For example, the spring detent tends, to maintain the st-opin either one of the two pivotal positions to which it may be moved on thc'stop rod,' and which are shown in Fig. I. and the maintain the column stop against accidental displacementlongitudinally 'of t-he column stop rod. Each column stop is also provided with oppositely disposed teeth'30 and 31, which are adapted to engage in interdental spaces between teeth 32 and 33' respectively at opposite sides of the locking bar 15. When a column stop is turned to the lowermost posit-ion represented in Fig.

7, its teeth are engaged in inter-dental spaces between. the teeth 32 and 33 to lock the column stop against movement along the column stop bar. When, however, a'coliimn stop is turned to the uppermost posit-ion shown in Fig. 7, its teeth. are thrown out of engagement with the teeth on the 'bar 15 so that the disengaged column stop is free No. 11 Remington machine.

-Fig. 3, and that-it is desired to mal position by a'spring 52 with key controlled tabulator stop mechanism of any suitable character. In the present instance I have shown tabulator stop mechanism similarto that embodied in the Thus tabulator frame 34 is secured to the frame of the machine by screws 35 and 36 so that the tabulator frame is fixed t0 the frame of the machine and for the purpose of the present invention may be regarded as a part thereof.-

A series of denominational stoplevers 37 are pivoted on a pivot .rod 38 fixed at its ends in the tabulator frame. The denominational tabulat-or stop levers are extended upwardly and forwardly to form denominational stops 39, which are adapted to beprojected through slotted openings .in a

.guide plate 4C0 secured to the tabulator frame. The lower end of each. denominational stop lever is connectedto a forwardly extending link 41 which in turn is pivoted to depending armu42 of an angular lever 43, the various angular levers being mount: ed on a pivot rod 14; securedto the base of the machine. A forwardly extending arm 45 on each angular lever is connected to a key stem 46 received in guide slots in two fixed guide plates 47 and 48, each stem being provided with the usual denominational key 49. Each angular lever hasits depending arm 42 connected to one end of a contractile spring 50, the opposite end of which is connected to the guide plate 17. A depression of a denominational key a9 is effective to project the corresponding denominational stop 39 into the path of the column stops and release the carriage by the usual carriage releasing mechanism, not shown.

The means by which the column stops are cleared and by which they are-setwill now be described. Let it be assumed that all of the column sto'ps areset, as indicated in clear them preparatory to resetting thelcolumn stops in a new arrangement. The operator moves the carriage to the left to the limit of its movement in that direction and de: presses a controlling key 51 and then moves the carriage from left to right and all of the column stops will be moved out of locking engagement with the lockingbar 15 and will be grouped, as representedi'n Fig. 5, as will hereinafter. appear.

I bracket being secured to the top plate of the machine by screw's '60. A coiled spring 61 surrounds the rock. shaft57 and is fixedly connected thereto at one end by means of a collar 62 which is secured to the rock shaft by. a set screw 63. One end of the coiled 1o spring is seated in an opening in this collar and the other end thereof is fixed to the lefthand bracket arm 58. The rock shaft 57 is extended to the right beyond the right-hand bracket-arm 58 and has" a hub 64 secured thereto by means of a screw 65. This hub has an arm 66 fixedly connected thereto, the

arm being provided with a rearwardly proect ng finger or column stop setting device 67 of awidth which corresponds approximately to the width of a column stop; The

arm 66 is also formed with a re arwardly projecting clearing device, wiper or cam 68 arranged to the rightof the finger 67 and exten ingat an inclination tg the right and power of the s ring 61 is exerted to normally maintain t 9 arm 66 and the parts fcarried thereby in the "inoperative position represented in '3. I When, (however, the finger downward movement tive to turn the rock arm .66 rearward'ly to the position represented in Figs. 4' and 7 where it is limited in its movement by a stop pin 66 If the carriage be atthe extremeleft-hand position when the arm is moved rearwardly to and .maintained in operative position, the cam 68 will be in a positionwhere the forward up- .percorriers 69 of the column stops will'be in coGperat-ive relation with the cam to coact therewith during a movement of the carriage to the, right. The column stops are brought successively into contact with the 'lower face of the" cam, as indicated in full lines in Fig.' 2,.and a continued movement of the, carriage to the right causes the portion of a column stop engaged by the cam to be moved downward, as indicatedin dotted lines'in Fig. 2.1 This effects a'turning movement of each stop as it is moved along the cam, the stop turning from the lowermost position indicated in Fig. 7 to the uppermost posit-ion showninthat figure. The

effect of this turning movement of the column stops, therefore, is vto disengage them ,from the locking bar 15 by which they are locked to travelwith thev carriage, so that a relative adjustment between the, column 6 stops and thecolumn stop bar may be of fected. v i

From an. inspectionof the drawings it y will be seen I that the vtabulatorframe has fixed thereto atits right-hand side, and to the right of the denominational stops, :1 o

tabulator frame by screws 71. This positioning device 70 is in the nature of a sheet metal plate which is provided with two forwardly extending arms 72 and 73. The arm bar and above the locking bar-l3, whereas 'the lower arm 73 extends beneath the looking bar and column stop-barand has an upwardly extending engaging member 74. It will likewise be observed that a similar positioning device or plate 70 is secured to the left-hand side of the tabulator frame 34 by screws 71 The construction of this second positioning device 7 0" is identically the same reference numerals with the addition thereto of the exponent designate parts of the positioning device 70. It will be seen ing devices, or sets of positioning devices, are spaced apart and are arranged on opposite sides of the set of denominationa stops 39, and are maintained fixed on the frame of the machine. Moreover, it will be observed from an inspection of Figs. 3 and 4 that the stop setting finger or device 67 and the clearing device 68 are arranged intermediate the two positioning'plates 70 and'70,

plate 70 When the column stops'are in the operative position where they are in looking" engagement with the bar 15, the stops pass freely't-hrough the openings between the arms 72and fluri'ng the'travel of the carriage. However, the construction and arrangement of the parts are such that when the column stops move with the carriage in the direction ofthe arrow a in Fig. 4, and the clearing device is maintained inoperative position by the key 51, thecolumn stops will be brought successively into cooperation with the cam 68 after the stops pass the'positioning plate '70, and will be turned individually and successively from the lowermost or operathe uppermost position of the stops shown in that view. This turning movement of the stops thus automatically eii'ected during the travel of the carriage to the right is brought about before the column stops reach the stop positioning device or plate 70.

. The positions of'the parts as they appear in Fig. 7 shows the coincident outline both "the column stops are moved by the cani 68 out of engagement with the locking bar"15, they will be brought successively into such f position that the rear end of each step will have its path intersected by the arm or engaging member. 7 2, whereas the forward a will be employed to 7O which correspondto't-hose on the plate that these two positiontive position of the stops shown in Fig. 7 to sitioning device 70 which is secured to the 70 72 extends forwardly abovethe column stop .as the positioning device 70 and the same H and that the stop settingffinger '67 is arranged adjacent to the inner face of the 73 and 72 and 73 of the positioning devices 70 and 70. It g will be understood, therefore, that when stop during the movement --intercepted by and against the stop po.

lower end of the stop will travel in a path which is intersected by the engaging member 74. It follows, therefore, that during .continue theirmovement in the direction of the arrow, thereby bringing the nextv column stop. into engagement with the one which i has been PIGVlOllSlYZLIlGStQd, and so on until all of-the column stops have been grouped together as shown. The carriage may then be moved to the left or in the direction of the arrow 0 in. Fig. 6 and the effect of this movement is-to carry the group of column stops into eentact with'the contact members 1- "72and 74 of the positioning device or plate 70 where they are arrested, while a further movement of the column stop bar and carrlage independently of the group of column @stops: may be effected. This movement of the -.carriage to the left may. bebrought the position shown in Figs. 1 and about by successive operations of the spacing key or in any suitable manner. hen. the carriage reaches the desired position where the first column stop is to be set, it is merely necessary to depress the key 51 to effect a movement of the stop setting finger 67 from 3 to the position indicated in Figs. 4 and 7. The

efiect of this actuation of the key-is to bring the column stops may the rear engaging end of the stop setting i finger 67 into contact with the engaging.

face 7 5 on the left-hand column stop 0 the group, thereby turning the column stop from the released position down into engagement with the locking bar 15, as indicated in Fig. 7. Pressure is released on the key 51 and the carriage is then stepped to the left until it arrives at the position where the next column stop is to be set. The key 51 is-again depressed to move the left-hand column stop of the group to and lock. it in operative. position .in a manner hereinbefore pointed out, and so on the column stops may be individually and successively set and locked against relative adjustment along the columnstopbar. v 1

It will be understood from the foregoing description that the mechanism is simple in operations of clearing are easily and quickly effected. i

Although the stop setting device-67 and the clearing device 68 are arranged on one with the same end of each column stop, nevertheless these devices are operative to move the column stops in opposite directions, the clearing device turning each stop up out ofengagement with its locking means and the setting device turning each stop down into engagement with its locking means.

It will be understood that the clearing device 68 constitutes. means whereby the travel of the carriage from left to right is rendered effective to turn the column stops out of'operative position and out of engagement with their locking means, and into 00 operative relation with the stop positioning means 70 and 70.

J locking engagement with While I have shown but six column stops in the present instance, it will be observed that the space between the two stop positioning plates and 70, as at present ar ranged, is sufiicient to receive as many as nineteen column stops, and this is as many asordinarily will ever be required atany a very long carriage'machine. In practice I many column stops on the column stop bar as may ever be required for use at any one time, and this ofrcourse will vary according to different conditions of use. However, the

as to receive the entire series of column stops between them, whatever he the number of the operator intends to use fewer stops than those mounted on the stop bar, it is merely necessary to position" the number of stops desired 'for use, which, for example, may be assumed to be three, an after the third stop has been set-theremaini'ng stops, which, in the present construction would be three, may he moved, down in adjacent letter space positions into] i the column stop p in posit-ion the without departing preferv to employ as pp nts. along the bar, j' movable in a plane I .jve'rsely of the column stop bar, means for to effect bar with the other words, after the third stop is locked three remaining stops 70 the setting device 67 and the clearing device 68 are carried by the frame of the machine, it should be understood that from certain aspects of my invention the parts .in question may be otherwise arranged and that various modifications may be made Moreover, certain features of the invention may be employed without others or in combination with other features different from those disclosed herein.

While I have referred herein to a carriage, it should be understood that this term is employed in a generic sense and is intended to include What I claim as new by Letters Patent, is:
